There will be a large number of non-participating vehicles on the road for at least another 50 years. (The average age of a car in the US is a little over 12 years and rising. I doubt we'll see a comms-based standard emerge and be required equipment on new cars for at least another 20 years.)
- lukan 2y ago"There will be a large number of non-participating vehicles on the road for at least another 50 years." I think so too, but I also think, if we would really want to, all it would take is a GPS device with internet connection, like a smart phone, to make a normal car into a realtime connected one. But I also think we need to work out some social and institutional issues first. Currently I would not like my position to be avaiable in real time to some obscure agency.
